Greetings from the UnitedClub at JFK Airport! I’m here awaiting for boarding of my flight to San Francisco (in the lounge courtesy of my AGR Select+ status). The trip I’m about to embark on is a three and a half week trip I’m entitling finishing California to an AGR Loop. The first nearly two weeks […]

These posts are simply my day to day adventures as I photograph every rail station on the New York City Subway
The best time to plan a day photographing the southern diesel shuttle end of the North Jersey Coast Line (not including rush hour) is during a Summer weekend when the frequency of the Shuttle trains increases from roughly every other hour to hourly to accommodate the influx of beach goers. In addition this year there […]
I think the title tells all about my adventure today to stop at the Frank R. Lautenberg Secaucus Junction Station to pay my respects to a great public transportation leader as he was transferred from motorcade to train at his namesake station for a very short ceremony with the New Jersey Transit Police Honor Guard, and only his […]
Today I decided it was finally time to go and get some more rail stations on New Jersey Transit except by using my bike to get between far apart stations instead of walking like I normally do. The original plan was to go with my bike and get every station on the Morristown Line between […]
I finished my last Rockaway Here We Come! (Again) post yesterday on the platform at Rockaway Park waiting for the first revenue service departure. The R1-9s ran this route in regular revenue service although they bypassed all stations from Howard Beach to Euclid Avenue. I road from Broad Channel to Euclid, taking the first two Shuttles […]
June 28, 1956: Today, for the First Time Since Sandy: As of Noon today the subway is fully an officially back with service to every station! The MTA reopened the line in style sending out the Museum train first full of dignitaries (from the MTA and FTA, no elected officials bothered to show up) from […]
Today I had to head up to New Haven for an important special occasion. This is the type of trip I wouldn’t have blogged about normally but with the Metro-North Crash on Friday closing off the entire New Haven Line between Westport to Bridgeport the Train-Bus-Train Transfer that we had to deal with made this […]
Today I attended (along with an estimated 40,000 other people, five times more than Metro-North expected, Didn’t Realize Trains are that popular!) Grand Central’s parade-of-trains. Yesterday I was in the area already had luckily made a round-trip on the Nostalgia SMEE Shuttle train yesterday (on track 1 using R15 #6239, R12 #5760, and R33WF #9306) […]
Today I awoke to a nice Spring Day and a presentation to work on for my internship with the Brooklyn Waterfront Research Center. What a better way to do both of these things and get some more H train photos and then a $2 ride on the temporary Rockaways Ferry. I’ve ridden the ferry twice […]
I am bad at keeping up with current NYC Transit events even if I’ve visited them. This update is all encompassing with all the photos I took of the South Ferry Stations and closure and reopening situation: Rector Street–(33 Photos) right after Superstorm Sandy the South Ferry-bound platform became an exit platform and the MTA […]
